Research Abstract |
Recent studies have shown that cellular uptake of nanoparticles depends on diameter, superficial area or surface modification. In this study, we examined that amounts of cellular uptake rely on it by measuring their zeta potential. We suspended 4 different surface modification fluorescent particles and measured their zeta potential and administered each of them to A549 cells, and employed confocal scanning laser microscopy. After thirty minute added particles to cells, we washed these cells three times and detected fluorescence by flow cytometer. Almost all the carboxylate particles invaded a cell and about 60 % aminated them also invaded. On the other hand, few non-modification particles were taken up.
